The political hack Jack Kelly is back. No, not Jack Kelley from USA Today, but the noxious warmonger who gives out "the war is going swell" propaganda by the mouthful.
You remember, the last guy to mention probable fraudster Kenneth Joseph (last to mention him in a positive light, anyway)?
Today he declares that "Victory is Coming!" which would be a lot more convincing if he hadn't declared essentially the same thing at the end of October a year ago, in contravention of the fact that violence had increased that month (35 coalition hostile fatalities compared to a previous post-end of major combat operations high of 28 in July and almost twice as many as the previous month [18 in September]).
Apparently, according to Kelly, most of the attacks were on Iraqis, showing how desperate the insurgents were.
"Largely overlooked by a news media which has honed its ability to miss the significant is that only one of last week's attacks in Iraq was directed at an American target."
How the insurgents still managed to kill at least 5 coalition soldiers in any 7-day period that ended from October 9 onward (the column was posted on Friday, October 31 2003) without targeting Americans, I am not certain.
No apologies over the next month, when the fatalities increasd by 150% to 94 hostile deaths in a month (although the number of wounded decreased from 413 to 337).
In any case, Jack's stupid little grin shouldn't fool you. He either doesn't know what he is talking about or else he is deliberately lying.
